Description of Work: They were mostly interested in doing a study on my current home status - I guess the current insulation senariao- not interested in the problem I called about looking for a solution.

Response from Zerodraft
As a true home performance contractor, we adhere to the standards set by the Building Performance which means that we have to look at the home as a system. we also cannot propose solutions until we have gathered data about the home's current state - whether it is drafty, lacking insulation or has heating/cooling problems. Once we understand the specific problems of each home, we can suggest solutions based on building science. The poor grade ranking entered by this person in her review of our company is not based on any practical assessment of our ability or performance and it is our hope that anyone reading this will understand how far off the mark this review really is. This householder called wanting us to diagnose her home's problems over the phone which we cannot do.

Response from Zerodraft
According to our records, an experienced and professional Zerodraft building analyst arrived on time at 3pm at Mr. Kane's home on June 18th, 2015 and provided an estimate for insulation of an attic and crawl space as requested by the householder at a home show in Syracuse earlier this year. The householder was not happy with the price estimate and attempted to get our representative to offer a lower price. We were not able to reduce our price at that time and so our representative left with the impression that the householder was not going to entertain our estimate. We have heard nothing from Mr. Kane until he decided to post a review of our business and enter low scoring grades of his experience.this week. His review indicates that work was completed by our company on November 9th 2015 but we have not performed any work for him. We do not feel it is fair that people are able to post false information about our company and enter failing grades that have no basis in reality. We hope Angieslist Members will consider references from people for whom we have actually completed work rather than false and misleading reviews from non-customers. Thank you for reading this response. Zerodraft Marketing and Customer Service

Description of Work: It was necessary to have 2 separate appointments - 1 for the furnace cleaning and one for the full house energy assessment. I didn't expect that and there were 2 women making the appts and they each made different appts for the work. I have my furnace serviced/cleaned every year and it usually takes 2 hours to do a thorough job. This appt.took about 45 minutes.I question if the job was done correctly. |The 2nd appt.for the energy assessment was not completely done because Bret said it could not be done because I have asbestos on my pipes in the basement. All he did was to walk through the house/basement/attic, used no machinery to determine heat loss and then gave me the full pitch to sell me insulation.In my opinion I paid $99. to get a sales pitch for insulation.If it's possible I'd like a refund. |Both men were very polite and well mannered.

Response from Zerodraft
Dear Ms. [Member], Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about your experience with Zerodraft which helps us work toward continuous improvement. In this instance we must have two separate appointments because furnace service is performed by our HVAC service staff and home energy audits/assessments are conducted by our BPI Certified building analysts. Whenever possible, as our customer and our service schedules allow, we try to perform both appointments on the same day for promotions such as the one you purchased. A typical professional furnace clean & tune should take 45 minutes which is exactly the time you estimated. The service includes the following actions: *clean and vacuum unit *carbon monoxide testing *check draft pressure *inspect electrical connections and wires *measure and record voltages *verify efficiency *measure and record amperage draw to motor *inspect fan belt tension *clean and lubricate blower assembly *inspect heat exchanger *inspect burner blower wheel *test main burner ignition *check/clean burner assembly *test inducer fan motor and blower assembly *inspect vent systems *calibrate thermostat and controls *check combustion air *test furnace safety controls *clean condensate drains *adjust pilot *monitor heating cycle *filter change. These are the steps Zerodraft follows for such a service which should average about 45 minutes to complete. We cannot say what steps any other providers follow nor the length of time they take to complete. Regarding your concerns over the incomplete energy assessment, it must be stressed that we adhere closely to standards of the Building Performance Institute or BPI which puts safety at the top of our list- both your safety and that of our employees.. Indeed it is paramount in our considerations. Below is a link to the BPI standard that is relevant in this instance which mandates that Brett not proceed with the blower door test which could have certainly put you and him at risk in the presence of loose or friable asbestos. I invite you to visit this link online or simply google BPI asbestos and read the content of BPIs rules about this. You may copy and paste this link into your browser to visit the page referenced: [Removed Hyperlink] We must first make sure that our actions "do no harm" and with asbestos loose in the manner you describe, the consequences of depressurizing your home with a big blower door test may have done just that, caused harm to you. We strive to deliver the best customer experiences each and every day and hope that you will reconsider Zerodraft in light of this information. Thank you again.

Description of Work: Installed a new central air conditioning unit outside, ran the wiring and tubing inside to hook up to existing AC coil that was in place already. It went really well, they were able to come out and give us a quote on the same day that I called, and they came back to do the work in under 2 weeks. Great experience, would definitely use them again.

Description of Work: 3 windows, patio door, spray foam and blown in insulation, rerunning ductwork in my attic and installing dampers. | |Patio door ordered with opening on wrong side. They offered my a |$500 credit. I took it as midway through the job they pulled the old bait and switch and told me their salesman "miscalculated " and to do the job right it would cost an extra $1987. | |The ductwork and dampers cost $2000. They never balanced the dampers which is why I had them installed. When the AC came on I realized there was No airflow from one of my registers in the living room and my bedroom was 4 degrees colder than the rest if the house. Eventually someone came back and couldn't figure out why there was no air from the living room register. He said he dampered down the one in the bedroom but it made no difference - the air came out hard it whistled. He said he would be back the following week to figure it out. Never showed . I complained. He then told me he would come when he got free time and if I wanted it done sooner I'd have to pay more. I complained to the owner and eventually received a $1500 credit. |Of coarse, I still want to get this fixed. Two proposals so far are for more than the $1500 credit I received. One of the companies rep took me up in the attic and showed me one run where the new flex duct was actually torn and leaking air. Turns out the run to my bedroom I was complaining about was never placed and, of coarse, had no damper. Turns out the reason I wasn't getting any air to the register in the living room is that it was actually dampered shut. | |And the NYSERDA rebates they promised that made this so attractive: the salesman said it should be about $900. Turns out will be about $300. I called. 8 weeks later to check on the status of the rebate and wouldn't you know they forgot to do the paperwork . It will likely be another 8 weeks I'm told. After they see this review , I wouldn't be surprised if I never see a rebate. Not to worry, just another conversation for me to have with NYSERDA. | |In fairness , I should mention that the person who did the windows and patio door did a great job.

THEY ARE BPI CERTIFIED THROUGH NEW YORK STATE. THEY REALLY UNDERSTAND IT, THEY'RE GOOD. THEY'RE NOT JUST INTERESTED IN SELLING WINDOWS. THEY PUT MORE EMPHASIS ON ENERGY SAVING BECAUSE OF THEIR CERTIFICATION, SO I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE PRODUCT.
